Tetsuya Mizuguchi, mastermind behind genre-defining rhythm games like Rez and Lumines, has been working on blending his expertise in the music-based genre of games with the timeless puzzle perfection of Tetris. Tetris Effect is the result of this experiment and soon players on the Playstation 4 will be able to experience a whole new way of playing the classic block game.
While the seasoned game creator has long been working on Tetris Effect, it was only a couple months ago, this June, when the game was first unveiled. The trippy visuals with ample colorful particle effects combined with mind-changing music goes incredibly well together with the minimalistic yet highly addictive puzzle gameplay of Tetris.
Fans of the evergreen puzzler and Mizuguchi’s unique artistic vision won’t have much long to wait, to immerse and lose themselves into the enthralling yet soothing loop of seemingly unending gaming transcendence. Developer Enhance’s official Twitter account disclosed the release date for Tetris Effect today as November 9th. Seeing how games like Tetris Effect are meant to be replayed over and over, the required two months of waiting shouldn’t be that hard.
If you’re still on the fence about re-inventing the time-proven Tetris formula, just look in awe how world-class Tetris player Trey Harrison tries out Tetris Effect and what he thinks about it. The great video done by Youtuber Nick Robinson shows just perfectly how a very experienced Tetris player quickly acclimates to the rather fresh and different spin on the evergreen.
We can’t recommend watching the video enough. Seriously, take your time and enjoy some high-level Tetris play and even witness Trey Harrison do the highest possible combo on his first try at PSVR.
Oh, did we mention that Tetris Effect is also going to support Playstation’s Virtual Reality googles? Because it absolutely does and it looks like the perfect way to get fully immersed into the audio-visual artistry of Tetris Effect.
